The Wilby Conspiracy (1975)

Emerging from a decade-long confinement for his nationalist zeal, Shack Twala (Sidney Poitier), is granted freedom by the South African Supreme Court. His newfound liberty is short-lived as he swiftly finds himself fleeing from the law following an unfortunate encounter with the police. Aided by his astute lawyer Rina Van Niekirk (Prunella Gee) and the resourceful British engineer Jim Keogh (Sir Michael Caine), Twala embarks on a treacherous journey to Capetown. His mission: to retrieve a hidden trove of diamonds, the key to funding his revolutionary cause, which he had entrusted to a dentist prior to his imprisonment. As they navigate the perilous path towards their goal, they are relentlessly pursued by the ruthless Major Horn (Nicol Williamson) of the South African State Security Bureau. As the tension mounts, it becomes clear that Horn's plan isn't to apprehend them, but to monitor them till they reach their much-anticipated destination. This gripping tale of survival, rebellion, and relentless pursuit is a testament to the indomitable human spirit, set against the backdrop of a country yearning for change.
